GRRM's 'A Game of Thrones' Casting for HBO

The Starks look pretty awesome, save for Catelyn who looks a little like Joan Cusack to me. But Cersei and Jaime? ALL WRONG. Fuck you very much for ruining my pretteh canon incest :P

What does everyone else think of the casting?

I THINK HE SHOUOLD GET BACK TO WRITING THE FUCKING BOOKS. NINE YEARS.

NINE YEARS.

*pants*

Also, posts such as this just... make me uncomfortable, and so I haven't really been on the blog.

OMG. YES. THIS.

GOD, HAS IT REALLY BEEN NINE YEARS SINCE HE STARTED?!?! WOW. At least FOUR since he finished AFFC.

What made you uncomfortable? The mentioning of the sex?

Also, is Jason Momoa from SGA playing Khal Drogo?

Well, it's been nearly nine years since aSoS came out, and aFfC was only half a book, so... You know. FINISH THE BOOK AURGH.

Oh, not the mentioning of sex so much as all of these men agreeing that yes, the sex scenes were very important, and Dany's actress being cast on that criterion, when... Well. That's hardly a major part of her character in the scheme of things, is it?

Also, is Jason Momoa from SGA playing Khal Drogo?

I believe so -- and I note (it's in the most recent post on grrm) that there is no discussion of how amazing his sex scenes are, and that's a much greater proportion of Drogo's character than it is of Dany's ;)

IDK. I hope that it's entirely unfounded, but it just gave me the impression of the guys doing the casting being these old men with a perpetual "hurr... boobies" and... I don't want to think of grrm like that, so I'm staying away from his blog :\

No, it totally is not. After Drogo dies (should I be warning for spoilers in this thread? LOL), it's not about sex AT ALL. But hey, maybe we'll get some Jason peen for our troubles. Were you an SGA fan at all?

But... I think I just read he's at the 1,100 mark with A Dance with Dragons. That's at least something to cheer about?

Yeah, didn't he say that exact same thing about four years ago..? I'll believe it when I see it in print. On paper. In my hands.

Four years ago he was at 1,000 pages. Do pay attention, doll :P

Also, totally unrelated to this thread... I have started watching SGA from season one again. This is all your fault. I now crave Steve/John, Bob/John and Michael/John fic :P

I need a Wraith icon, dammit!
